Obviously it's all a work in progress and a little rough but it could end up being really fun to play with a bunch of friends. Looks very promising!

The main developer sent word about it and after looking it up, it does state how it "won't be a complete recreation". When querying this with them, they told me that it's more along the lines of just how much work it is to get literally every part of it working. They don't have a list of things they won't do but it's more about priority stuff first. They may also eventually move onto supporting other GTA games like Vice City too.

Like other similar recreations, you need to own a copy of the game to run it. It's open source under the MIT license on GitHub. Well, it's as open as a Unity project can be anyway.

This reminded me to check up on these guys: https://github.com/rwengine/openrw
It's an open reimplementation of the GTA III-series engine; but they've been making *really* slow progress over the past 5-6 years.

More of active contributors are needed. Spreading word of the projects existence would probably help to gain some devs.

Nearly every from-scratch open source engine rewrite project is undermanned. I've been mentioning OpenVIII where I can since the Final Fantasy 8 Remaster turned out to be a very-very bad port technically speaking.
